MANIFESTO

As a candidate for the position of Full Members Representative, my manifesto centres on championing for the interests of the society’s full members.

I will prioritize enhancing members’ value proposition through:

  1. Continuous professional development programs
  2. Networking opportunities, and
  3. Member recognition initiatives.

I believe that the Marketing Society of Kenya can play a crucial role in advocating for marketing as a strategic function that contributes to business growth and sustainability. Therefore, I will work towards positioning the society as the thought leader in marketing by providing industry insights, thought-provoking content, and cutting-edge research. I will promote diversity and inclusivity within the society by actively engaging and encouraging the participation of women, youth, and people from diverse backgrounds. Through collaboration with stakeholders and strategic partnerships, I aim to create value for the society’s members and contribute to the growth and success of the marketing profession in Kenya.
